allelic
- adjective
- /əˈliːlɪk/
- Specialized
- Researchers identified several allelic variants that contribute to diversity in human traits.
- allelic profile
- allelic frequencies
Examples
-
When individual populations of a species accumulate unique allelic frequencies, inbreeding is more prevalent.
Academic text (2002) -
In conclusion, in this small-sample study, the findings of allelic frequencies among Korean patients with pemphigus were somewhat different from those found in other populations.
Academic text (2007) -
The number of allelic states A is largely irrelevant for the analysis of direct paths.
Academic text (2018) -
Likewise, analysis of the allelic pair DRB1*0402-DQA1*0301 demonstrates a similar pattern.
Academic text (2007) -
And because of the allelic exclusion, each B cell expresses only one antibody, OK?
-
To examine this hypothesis, we investigated the allelic expression of INS in the marsupial mammary gland.

The heritability of marker patterns—allelic variations—makes them useful in identifying or selecting breeding animals.
Academic text (1994) -
In addition, in the case of overdominance, both allelic variants would have a higher probability of being maintained in the population, which would not be the case where deleterious alleles are being unmasked by inbreeding.
Academic text (2010) -
The different temporal components of the evolutionary history of species can be inferred by evaluating the phylogeographic signal carried by different levels of genetic diversity: genotype and allelic frequencies can generally change over a few generations, whereas changes at the DNA-sequence level are relatively slow.
Academic text (2011) -
The study found that different allelic forms of the gene influence the plant's resistance to disease.

Etymology
Allelic comes from allele, which traces back to the Greek root allos meaning 'other'. So allelic describes things about the 'other' forms or versions of a gene and the differences between them.
